If you're going through a tough time in life, this movie will probably not make you feel any better, but it will make you glad you're aren't in this fictional world that Darren Arfonsky has created. This really, really $#@!ed up and surreal world where hitting rock bottom is the worst feeling you can get. This is Arfonsky's finest work. The audio visual experience is moving to say the least. This is an experimental film that feels like a movie because of its run time. There's one shot where the audio pans around my speakers in a circular motion, and you can literally hear the audio pan if you have a home theatre. It's mind blowing. The cinematography of this is insane. But if you're happy, this movie makes you feel like $#@!, and it certainly scares the $#@! out of you. You constantly think that there are actually people in real life who have these things happening to them, and Arfonsky shows this in the best possible way through the very fast paced editing.

I remember watching this movie as a kid at school. It certainly painted an image in the back of my head. One day, we were all called down for an assembly. I think it was grade 8 or 9, and we knew it was about speakers who spoke about alcohol and drugs. What we didn't expect at this assembly was a 10 minute edited version of this film. When I saw this for the first time, I $#@! my pants. The point was taken clearly; don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. Then, to put the cherry on top, they dimmed the lights or turned them off, I can't remember. And they were playing an audio soundscape of this couple who are going home from a party. They had too much to drink. The girlfreind begs him to get a taxi or another friend who's sober to drive him. They argue and basically the guy drives, extremely drunk. They argue on the road and get into an accident from a tanker truck. They were screaming and when the tanker hit their car, it was so loud in the assembly and they must have had some fireworks and smoke machine because a small explosion went off. $#@!, now that's am effective way of telling kids not to drink and do drugs. But this movie helped more.

"When I was 12, I milked my eel into a pot of turtle stew. I flogged the one-eyed snake, I skinned my sausage. I made the bald man cry into the turtle stew, which I believe my sister ate. At least I hope she did."

Really enjoyed this film, brilliant acting and narrative, I think DiCaprio was my favourite. This film put me through a lot of emotions, it's mainly funny but there are parts where you feel awkward, disgusted and angry. I don't want to spoil anything so I will leave it at that, definitely worth a watch

Another great movie to watch with buddies, especially if there's drinking involved. It peaks around the middle but before then constantly surprised me at how unbelievably ridiculous it kept getting. It's a bad film sure, but it's silly and on Netflix.

4 out of 10

I saw that on there and I'm not going to lie...I was interested. Those goofy movies are fun to watch. Another god one up that alley is Nazis at the Center of the Earth. So stupid but funny because it was so atrocious.

The writing was pretty cool and so was some of the sound design, but the rubbish acting is what made me not take the plot seriously, even though there are some parts which are written so well, but carried out poorly on screen. Some things look really good on paper I guess. Kevin Bacon's performance is almost like Nic Cage's. We see Bacon's angry face and voice raised to unparalleled levels to the point where you laugh out loud. It's a decent horror thriller for a Friday night, but that's it. It'll become forgettable fast.

I saw this again today and I haven't seen it since I was a kid. This is such a good psychological thriller. I love the simple production design on it too. It was literally built on only ONE sound stage, and each cubic room colour was because they changed the gel panels on the sound stage. So, in essence, the movie takes place in one entire room. The production itself is one entire room. The cinematography really helps with that illusion, that there are thousands of rooms, but it's just cleverly placed camera angles and lighting that helps with the illusion. However, the acting could have been a lot better, and maybe even some of the writing. But everything else outweighs these things small things. It's an independent production that became a cult classic. Really amazing movie, you guys should see it. And don't even bother with the sequels, those are terrible and add nothing to the story. They are not necessary.

Especially the 3rd. I always love those kind of movies were a group of strangers end up in situation where they don't know what's going on.

Dream House -5/10- Started out decent then halfway through, it turned into a lame Shutter Island, the rest just went downhill from there.

Tap-a-hoe
